We are very appreciative of all the time and effort that went into publicizing A Night at the Music Box. Betty Twigg, publicity chairperson, started very early to arrange for articles and pictures of the Ladybirds to appear in the Cumberland Times-News and the Allegany Arts Council newsletter and on television’s Channel 8. Diana Loar sent out press releases to many radio stations and organizations. Diana is the head of the Western Maryland Food Bank, which will receive the profits of the show. Ken Batchelor was instrumental in sending publicity materials via email to various communications media.

To date we have had advertisement on radio, television, and newspaper. Additionally, we have put up posters and sent out flyers and promoted the show by word of mouth. We are featured on the Western Maryland Food Bank website, the Allegany Arts Council website, and our own website. The Cumberland Times-News also has a feature article about our show on their website. We were given a huge spread in The Slice of Life, which is a specific section of the Times-News paper. The Slice of Life promotes entertainment all around the area. A photograph of the Pizzazz quartet appeared in the Times-News on September 6th.

Nearly every member of the Ladybirds Chorus went from business to business and sold 126 ads for our program booklet. That program is a work of art thanks to the design and formatting which Ken Batchelor spent hours and hours doing.
